"From its modern origins in seventeenth-century France, encyclopedic compilations
met the need for the dissemination of information in a more flexible format, one that
eschewed the limits of previous centuries of erudition. The rise of vernacular languages
dovetailed with the demand for information in every sector, sparking competition among
nations to establish the encyclopedic 'paper empires' that became symbols of power
and potential. In this edited collection, Clorinda Donato and Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink
evaluate the long-overlooked phenomenon of knowledge creation and transfer that occurred
in hundreds of translated encyclopedic compilations over the long eighteenth century.
Analysing multiple instances of translated compilations, this book expands into the
vast realm of the multilingual, encyclopedic compilation, the most tangible proof
of the global enlightenment. Through the presentation of an extensive corpus of translated
compilations, it argues that the true site of knowledge transfer resided in the transnational
movement of ideas exemplified by these compendia. The encyclopedia came to represent
the aspiring nation as a viable economic and political player on the world stage;
the capability to tell knowledge through culture became the hallmark of a nation's
cultural capital, symbolic of its might and mapping the how, why, and where of the
global eighteenth century."--Résumé de l'éditeur
